Pros

Symbotic has a lot of talented engineers and they are all kind and helpful. The problems you will get to work on are interesting, no matter which team you are on. Also, there are cool perks like free drinks, (including a new coffee shop), as well as free breakfast and free catered lunch.

Cons

The problems that you will work on are very specific to Symbotic's product, but you will still gain great experience with software engineering.

Pros

Interesting technology and exposure to advanced automation systems. Opportunity to work on complex engineering projects.

Cons

Poor work-life balance with high expectations and little flexibility. Communication from leadership and the general manager was very limited, making it difficult to stay aligned. There was also a lack of transparency around performance expectations and job security. Even when performing well and fully understanding the environment and workflows, employees could be let go without warning or a second chance. This creates unnecessary turnover and results in lost knowledge, requiring time and resources to retrain new engineers who are unfamiliar with the systems.
